Instructions
Make the Bars:
- Heat oven to 350F, line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large bowl add all ingredients and mix with a handheld electric mixer until combined.
- Turn dough out into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula as necessary. Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before frosting.
Make the Frosting:
- To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
- Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, salt, and beat to incorporate and until frosting is smooth.
- Spread frosting evenly over bars. Top with sprinkles before slicing and serving.
Notes
- *Frosting: You may also use one 14-ounce tub store-bought whipped cream cheese frosting instead of making the frosting homemade.
